The CATIE Center at the College of St. Catherine
This Regional Interpreter Education Center works as part of the National Consortium on Interpreter Education to develop resources for raising the level of interpreting in our region and across the nation.
Through the Northeast Minnesota Region III Low Incidence Project, which is housed at the NESC, Digiterp Communications has collaborated to create many of the CD-ROMs described on this site. Additionally, I work as an Interpreter Training Consultant with the NESC to provide skill development and mentoring to interpreters in Northeast Minnesota.
